WELL-KNOWN AMISH MEMBER DIED

Springs, Pa. — Relatives and friends from several eastern states attended funeral services Jan. 11 for Lewis Yoder, 83, long time resident of Somerset county and a member of the Amish church.

Bro. Yoder, a retired farmer, formerly became well known for the fish pond which he operated here. It was open to the public for fishing, the only charge being so much per pound for fish caught.

He leaves 11 children and over 130 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
